Gila, You are right, it will suppress the armor (but less than infantry). but air will get you a kill more often than arty. As for friendly fire, I would not call in a strike with friendlies within ~5-7 hexes...or yes there is a chance to get your own forces hit. My biggest issue with air is if there is for example a tank and an HT close to the strike area it always seems that it is my luck that it goes for the HT! I still stick by my experience that air strikes are worth spending a bit of points on.

IMO don't waste money on aircraft that have fire control scores 10 or under...stick with stukas, typhoons, etc. that have hight fire control of 15-25 points.
